Eighteen

What do I know? Which way do I go? Down the corner and take a right at the end of the road? But what if I go the wrong way? And how will I know? And if I do not know where I am going, is it the wrong road? And if it is, then which road is right? And what if I think it is the right road, but it is really the wrong one? Or will I be traveling on the right one always doubting myself? Which way do I go? How will I know? Will I get there by map or by instinct or luck? Will I stumble upon it or find it intentionally? If I stumble upon it will I know? But how can I find it intentionally if I do not know what I am looking for? What do I know where to go? Take the path untraveled they always say, But how do I know that; that is the right way?
